No, not a ‘here’s stuff I’m working on’, this is an actual update of my bench.

I’m having a move around to try to get some better camera angles for filming and streaming. I also have some new mats to use, in a more neutral grey colour that should be nicer on film. (‘not that anyone actually uses film. Or even tape. ‘Nicer on ram’ doesn’t sound quite the same though does it?)

I picked up 3 sizes of mat, the big one I use at the moment is a1 although half of it is hidden under my storage area. Perhaps I can turn it around when it invariably gets dirty. Or the lines get cleaned off…..

Thursday is my usual evening for streaming a fun “chat show” type stream.

It’s just me and usually a couple of “The Gross Gang” (other Modelmaking friends) and my patrons for 90 minutes of general chat and nonsense. But, for the last Thursday in the month I open the doors to all comers. Anyone can come and join in on camera and hang out for a little while.

I post the link on my Facebook page for people to join in. If you just want to watch, or join in with the text chat you can find it on my youtube, or this weeks show will be right here from 8pm BST Thursday.

It was a great trip to visit eModels this week, and I picked up. My next build for them.

These are the paints I’ll be using, any guesses on what my next project will be?

Watch Monday’s eModels stream to find out!

My merchandise store has been updated with a couple of new items.

The store is just as good as it was, but now with added Warhamster! Take a look, you may find something you like…..

It’s almost Christmas too!

Visit the store

The next few months are going to be quite busy!

I have 1 live appearance each month for September, October and November. All around the Midlands. Can you make them all?

On September the 19th (just 10 days after my birthday….) I, as well as Ted, Foxx and hopefully Tony from the eModels builders will be descending on eModels for the afternoon. I’ll be picking up my secret new build as well as dropping off the Zaku and the MiGs I’ve built for them. Ted is also picking up his next build, the big Digger thing. And of course he is delivering his HUGE submarine. I hope they have room for it. Foxx already has his next build: The perfect grade Falcon, I think he’s just coming for the donuts.

October 22nd is my first trip to Warhammer World. A few people hope to make it the same day, I’ll update when we know who’s able to make it!

My final outing for the year is the big one. Scale Model World in Telford. This is “The greatest model show in the world” and takes a whole weekend. I’ll just be there on Sunday 10th November.

Hopefully some of you will be able to make at least one of these, come and say hello! I’ll make sure I have some stickers on me- find me and ask for one!
